duoc9119 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Just that the posts stop coming in, thats all! I just got a sixline and a fighting conch! I wanted a fishy for this 6 gallon tank and thought I would try my hand at the fighting conch. Six lines really don't do a whole lot of swimming around rocks, they just seem to cruise along the rock. And the conch has been sitting in an algae spot I dropped him in at and has been munching away all day. Any news on the tank from TruVu? Work and school has been getting kind of slow around here so I need something to do.. Lol Quote Link to comment

So, I called TruVu last Friday and even though they are really busy and backed up, they hope to have all three of my tanks completed for pickup this Friday! So, I'm excited because I also get to pick up Micro-Reefs first 2 gallon RIMLESS tank! Yes you heard me right RIMLESS! Nuff said.... Quote Link to comment

If anything, they are the most "rock-exploring" species of fish I have ever seen. I'd say get it out. Quote Link to comment
duoc9119 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Nice! A rimless?! Migrating towards rimless tanks? I see business booming for you in the near future! Quote Link to comment
Islandoftiki Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) What? A sixline in a 6 gallon tank? If anything, they are the most "rock-exploring" species of fish I have ever seen. I'd say get it out. My sixline swims through, around, over, under and in between all of the rockwork in my 10 gallon tank. It's not much of a straight line swimmer, so I think they really need an interesting rockscape to swim through. She also loves to frolic in the current of the MP10. They hunt for pods all day long, so I try to restock my tank with pods on a regular basis so she has something to do in between feedings. I intentionally picked out rocks with lots of interesting shapes and holes to swim through. Here's a little video I threw together yesterday that includes a little footage of my sixline in my 10 Gallon Micro-Reefs tank. Edit: It should be noted that she's showing off for the camera and not doing her normal in-and-out-of-the-rocks thing. Edited March 5, 2012 by Islandoftiki Quote Link to comment

One is facing left and right, the next is higher up and faces the back left and front right corner, and the last is facing the front left and back right corner. All on different levels. Then you have small ledges here and there. Going to get some more rock when the new tank comes in and do some sort of valley or isolated islands! Quote Link to comment

Micro-Reefs Aquariums Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Speaking about six line wrasse, I was looking to bring home a 4 line wrasse for our 25 gallon display tank! Since I didn't find one I went ahead and brought home the Yellow Corris or Yellow wrasse. He is tiny and I'm excited about having him clean out the massive amount of isopods that have taken over! He was dropped in tonight, so I will not know until tomorrow morning about his new beginnings on this project of mine. I have a picture of him in the bag before I placed him in! I will post it later... I am also very excited about the rimless line coming to Micro-Reefs.... Something I've been wanting for some time to add to the variety of tanks we have! My sixline swims through, around, over, under and in between all of the rockwork in my 10 gallon tank. It's not much of a straight line swimmer, so I think they really need an interesting rockscape to swim through. She also loves to frolic in the current of the MP10.

Edit: It should be noted that she's showing off for the camera and not doing her normal in-and-out-of-the-rocks thing. I am so proud of your tank and I love your video, may I post your youtube video on my company website? I would love to share it to some of my customers in Europe! Send me a PM if that is okay with you! Thanks, Mike Guerrero CEO / Founder Micro-Reefs LLC Quote Link to comment

Micro-Reefs Aquariums Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Micro-Reefs LLC has opened up the freshwater line of 4 gallon rimless glass tanks... Here she is debuting the high PAR lighting Hydra LED This system is using the AC50 filter and real live plants, with the PAR rating Hydra we are seeing growth on the plants without the injection of C02 gas! Just unbelievable PAR rating Quote Link to comment
duoc9119 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 The freshwater tank is looking good! Sweet Wrasse btw! Quote Link to comment
Nerdman Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Awesome, Can you tell us more about the light, how is it being held in place would be interesting? MG Thanks Mike, The light is a Nanocustoms unibody heatsink, I added my own cree leds, and its powered by a Nanocustoms duo 700 driver. It is being held up with thier gooseneck. And i mounted it to the back of my AC70 using 3m double sided tape. The thick stuff. I didnt use the clamp because the light would sit too high. Quote Link to comment
Micro-Reefs Aquariums Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 The freshwater tank is looking good! Sweet Wrasse btw! You should see the growth on the freshwater plants it's amazing and since I have the APOGEE PAR reader, all my lights will soon have a PAR reading next to them on my site. I have to see if I can get a PAR reading on our Kessil beauty LED fixture! But you must admit the Hydra LED on our site kicks butt! MG Quote Link to comment
